Apevia cases aren't my personal choice as their build and design quality is a bit suspect, but the actual components of the system are all solid. This is in my mind a better value CPU though:

Also, why the S-ATA cables? The EP45-UD3R will come with 4 of its own.

Ideally neither, better option would be the Coolermaster RC-690 or the Antec Three Hundred, adding extra 120mm fans where they fit.

Recertified units are never wise for PSUs, and BFG units are usually other units just rebadged, and are so-so for the price.
The Corsair VX you had originally is better.
